Instead of being grateful she became furious and she says to him why did she touch her. Doree replies that the pole was going to fall on her. Kailashi told her that it was better to let her die than to ruin her precious sari. She is about to hit her but Ganga comes and stops her. He says please forgive her she didn't want to trouble you and he says come to Bunkar Mohalla so that his grandmother will clean her saree but She says even if it was the end of the world she would never go to this dirty neighborhood and she tells him to tell Doree that she is a girl and that she must learn to fear the world and only manage the house.
